every now and then, the truck will fart to relief itself from heavy pressure

Called "jake brakes" - usually posted just before hitting town or city limits because they are very noisy, sound is amplified at night if the big rig is the only significant traffic noise

A Jake Brake, or Jacobs Engine Brake, is a diesel engine retarder that slows a commercial vehicle by converting the power-producing engine into a power-absorbing air compressor. It works by opening the exhaust valves near the top of the compression stroke, releasing compressed air, and preventing the engine from rotating freely, which slows the truck without using the service brakes.  I got this information by googling it. But I already knew what it was because I drove 18-wheelers for roughly 18 years.

Jake brake or engine brake. It reduces engine rpm and helps you to control your speed on steep down grades. They can be very dangerous during bad weather though (rain and/or snow or ice)

it's called a engine brake aka a Jake brake. what you should ask is why he is using it in slippery road conditions. notice when he hits it the first time how the truck and trailer reacted. could possibly cause a jack knife.

Its wooden paddles deployed by a handbrake! The sound is the wood rubbing on the tires! Kinda like our home made go cart brakes.
